What kind of temp gauges do you guys recommend? i got a 2003 yamaha sx viper. i dont want to spend more then $100 on one... it could just be a single screen. i want to know the water temps, engine temps, and exhaust temps. i was looking at the TTO temp gauge, anybody have any reviews on them?
Thanks in advance guys!!

I googled tto gauges and it doesn't appear the tto would do what you want, nor would spending under $100.00.
The temp gauges either read cylinder head temps through a sensor ring under the spark plug or a coolant sensor in the coolant flow. Coolant temp out would be the most useful and you'd still have money left to put towards a rear cooler.
To read exhaust temp/s you'd need exhaust probe thermalcouple/s and apiece they will eat nearly half your budget. Then there's the meter.
Thier GPS/combo units look kinda cool but don't appear to show a map.

Thanks for the reply! Do you have any other ideas on a gauge I should invest in?

I have a KOSO temp gauge. I think it was around $100 came with tee fitting to splice in the coolant hose and a small LCD screen I mounted on the handlebars.

What all does it tell you? And can I see a pic of it?

How much did your gauge cost? The site doesn't say...
